JWN: Family Buyout Offer Creates Rare Options Trading Setup
Remember when Dell went private in 2013?
Or when Panera Bread disappeared from the public markets in 2017?
We’re seeing similar signs with Nordstrom (JWN), and I believe we’re perfectly positioned to profit from what’s coming.
The Nordstrom family isn’t just window shopping – they’re serious about taking their company private.
They’ve already shown their cards with a $25 per share offer that was turned down.
But here’s what makes this opportunity so compelling: with the stock trading at around $22, we’re getting in at bargain basement prices before what I expect will be a significantly sweetened offer.
Why This Trade Could Be Explosive
Let me break down exactly what we’re seeing:
- The stock is trading well below the family’s initial offer
- They’ll need to come in at $28-30 to get shareholder approval
- We’ve got call options that could 5X if this plays out as expected
- The company’s inherent value provides a solid floor around $25
The Setup Is Almost Perfect
When you’re looking for a catalyst trade, timing is everything. Right now, we’ve got:
- A motivated buyer (the Nordstrom family)
- A depressed stock price
- Multiple months for the catalyst to play out
- Limited downside given the stock’s intrinsic value

The Nordstrom family wants their company back, and they’ll likely have to pay a premium to make it happen.
This is exactly the kind of asymmetric opportunity we love: limited downside risk with explosive upside potential if our catalyst materializes.
And with the stock at these levels, the risk-reward setup is simply too compelling to ignore.
Remember, catalyst trading isn’t about catching every move – it’s about positioning yourself ahead of potentially explosive situations.
The Nordstrom privatization story is just one example of the opportunities we identify every week.
